Rainbow Brite is Back and Brighter Than Ever!

Yes, that’s right, your childhood favorite is back and she’s brighter than ever. I received a special Rainbow Brite CD Pak from BSM Media to review with my daughter and extras to share with other moms.
As soon as my daughter saw what they were, she promptly asked if she could have one and popped it into her computer. So far, everyday she’s asked if she could play her Rainbow Brite CD. It’s such a flashback to hear but a good flashback.
Rainbow Brite spreads her positive message of kindness, hope and courage. It’s so good to see those messages we relate to our daughters reinforced loud and clear to hear and learn from.
The beautiful, bright colors will capture your eye, the positive messages will appeal to both yours and your child’s heart.
My little Princess enjoys putting the puzzles pieces together and the video (animated short). She’s not hooked up to the printer so she can’t print out coloring pages for herself so I get to that part. It’s great to share something positive with my daughter. Princess is excited too, that she can share the extra CDs with her classmates and friends.
You can visit Rainbow Brite and her two loyal friends Moonglow and Tickled Pink and their companion horse friends: Starlite, Shimmer and Sunrise online by visiting www.rainbowbrite.com There you’ll find four new Rainbow Brite animated adventures in Rainbow Land mini episodes.
She says her favorite is “Tickled Pink, ’cause she’s all pinkalicious and Rainbow Brite ’cause she’s all bluealicious and Moonglow ’cause she’s all purpleicious” (well, at least she’s not partial) and she said it with the biggest, most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen.
Anything that makes my little Princess smile like that gets a “gold star” from me.
Oh, I can only imagine how excited Princess will be when she sees the newest Rainbow Brite fashion doll collection, which is now available at Target stores and this month will also become available at Toys R’ Us. Check www.rainbowbrite.com for availablity.
Disclosure: I was provided with the Rainbow Brite CD pack free of charge from BSM Media Mom Select and Hallmark but it in no way influences my review or my daughters’ enjoyment of the Rainbow Brite line of products and website.
More Results Equal More Supplements

Well, we went back to our DAN doctor for the results of the two test kits we’ve sent in so far. Some good news, it isn’t Candida and his mercury level was within normal limits (actually pretty low) so I was glad to hear that. Little Bug was also checked for Celiac Disease which she said also came back negative so it isn’t that either. Also very glad to hear that. We do still need to get him on a GFCF diet though. Little Bug apparently has a lot of allergies especially to foods. Now to figure out what foods he can eat and better yet, how to get him to eat them.
I’m not the best in the kitchen, ok, so I stink in the kitchen/cooking department. This is going to be a difficult one to overcome but we’ll give it a try.
The doctor says he has a leaky gut. Now, I’ve heard of this before and I think she’s right on track with this one. Little Bug has never seemed right when it came to his gut but I could never get any other doctor to even check him. All I was ever told was, “here, put him on this (as they handed me a prescription)” and when I asked for how long I got this, “for the rest of his life”. Uh, no! That doesn’t work for me. So, first things first, we have to get Little Bug’s intestines working correctly and healed before we move much further. I think the new GFCF diet is a major part of that healing for his body and the enzymes to help his body break down the foods he does take in. I think the GFCF diet is going to be a more difficult hurdle for me to overcome than it is him though. It’s a whole different way of thinking about food, more work, more preparation, more caution when it comes to eating out or eliminating it all together.
One thing, I though was odd was that Little Bug’s cadmium level was pretty high. As I read the report and how these levels could be so high, I couldn’t understand how as it seems to mostly relate to cigarette smoke. We don’t smoke and don’t allow our kids to be around anyone that does. Hmmm? Still scratching my head on that one.
Little Bug had more supplements added to his list of daily supplements and I think I’m spending more time giving him supplements than I am at work. At least, I have the flexibility right now. I hope it keeps up. And speaking of that, one mom I ran into the other day at school says to me, “he is very lucky to have a mom like you that will do all that for him”, and she doesn’t hardly know me. That really made me feel good and I needed that. After this visit, I was just overwhelmed again. I hope not every visit to this doctor is going to be so overwhelming.
They drew more blood for more testing so as soon as we get those I’ll update you again. Hopefully it will be good and not require any more supplements. I don’t know how much more I can put into Little Bug on a daily basis.
